New Delhi: The oil wells run by state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) on the disputed Assam-Nagaland border may soon resume operations, with the Union home ministry stepping in to resolve the controversy between the two state governments.
Union home secretary Ajay Bhalla held discussions to allay concerns of the two states, after which teams from the Centre visited Nagaland in a bid to help resume operations, said officials. While the Assam government has granted permission, a response from Nagaland is awaited, they said.
